Spending review 2019 at a glance: Tory Sajid Javid's £13bn announcements in full

Boris Johnson's minority government has announced £13bn of spending and "no more cuts" in a blatant, short-term piece of electioneering. Here's how it'd affect you - from schools and the NHS to police and the MOD

Boris Johnson's flailing government has announced more than £13billion in public spending as the country is gripped by an unprecedented crisis.

Chancellor Sajid Javid boasted he would raise day-to-day spending by 4.1% next year - the "fastest rise in 15 years" - with £13.4bn in 2020/21 including for schools, the NHS and police.

His special 'Spending Round' said £1.5bn would be available for social care, £200m for bus services and £66m for nurseries after years of complaints they were cash-starved by the Tories' 30 hours' free childcare scheme.

And he boasted "no department will be cut next year" as he vowed to tear up fiscal rules ahead of the next Budget to "turn the page on austerity", after nearly a decade of swingeing cuts.

Vowing "uncertainty" around Brexit could not distract from the "people's priorities", Mr Javid said: "Thanks to the hard work of the British people we can now afford to turn the page on austerity and move forwards from a decade of recovery to a decade of renewal."

But today's statement covered just one year, was not a full spending review (that'll only be next year), and many announcements were reheated pledges from Boris Johnson .

Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell said the "pathetic" sum for departments "on their knees" after nine years of Tory austerity was "adding insult to injury."

He branded the statement an "opportunist one-year spending review" and said social care was receiving only a "sticking plaster" with no long-term reform.

And he said the statement was a "distraction" from a government with "no mandate, no morals and no majority", adding: "A government not just callous but uncaring as well. This isn't a government, it's a racket."

So what has the government announced today? Here's everything you need to know at a glance.

Public spending overall

A 4.1% or £13.4bn rise in public spending, including £1.7bn for capital spending - the "fastest increase in day-to-day spending in 15 years".

"These extra funds take the real increase in day-to-day spending to £13.8 billion or 4.1%," the Chancellor added.

Extra £2bn for Brexit preparations in 2020/21, matching £2bn in 2019/20. It brings the total spent on planning for and delivering Brexit since the 2016 referendum to more than £8.3bn.

Police

Extra £750m for policing for first year of plan to recruit 20,000 officers.

Another £45m in 2019/20 (not 20/21) to "kick-start" recruitment.

First 2,000 officers due to be in place by March 2020 and 6,000 a year later.

Counter-terror budget rises with inflation by continuing extra £160m announced in 2018 Budget.

But Labour's John McDonnell said: "They seem to forget they cut 20,000 police officers." And he warned only 13,000 of the new PCs may be on the streets.

Schools

£2.6bn rise to the schools budget in 2020/21 and £4.8bn in 2021/22.

Minimum per pupil amount of £5k for secondary and £3,750 for primary schools, rising to £4k for primaries in 2021/22.

£700m more for additional schools funding to help children with special educational needs, an 11% rise in a year.

Teacher's starting salaries rise to £30,000 by 2022/23 - by which time overall school spending to rise by £7.1bn.

But Labour's John McDonnell said: "The Chancellor has announced new spending of £1.8bn next year. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has previously estimated that it would cost £3.8bn this year alone to reverse the cuts that have been made."

Home Office

6.3% 'real terms rise' in Home Office spending - which the Chancellor said was the "biggest increase" in 15 years.

Places of Worship fund doubled to £1.6m, in reheated announcement from March, to protect mosques, synagogues, churches and others from attacks.

£30m to tackle "scourge of online child sexual exploitation" including cash for technology, intelligence and enforcement.

£110m extra - plus £65m syphoned off Foreign Aid budget - for asylum system to "support and protect the most vulnerable refugees".

Nurseries

£66m extra for nurseries after years of complaints they are starved of cash under the Tories' 30 hours' free childcare scheme. But campaigners warned it was a sticking plaster.

It is understood the current minimum hourly that nurseries receive under the scheme is £4.30. Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Early Years Alliance, said it filled just a tenth of the £662m funding gap.

NHS

5-year settlement for the NHS worth £33.9bn more per year by 2023/24 - including a £6.2bn rise in NHS funding next year. Including...

£1bn more for NHS capital spending in 2019/20 - but only from hospitals' own budgets or projects that were approved then put on hold.

£854m to upgrade facilities and equipment in 20 hospitals.

£250m for AI on issues like detecting cancer.

£210m for training opportunities to NHS staff in a bid to improve standards and retain nurses, midwives and allied health professionals. That appears to include a £1,000 personal development budget over 3 years for every nurse, midwife and allied health professional.

But John McDonnell slammed the spending, saying the £1.8bn has “already been exposed as largely a renouncement of existing money”.

Social care

Long-awaited social care reform kicked into the long grass yet again with wider reforms only promised "in due course".

£1.5bn for social care - but only £1bn from government and it's shared between children and adults.

£500m of it would come from a planned hike to council tax - with social care councils bumping up to 5% extra on bills next year.

Struggling families have already been hammered with years of above-inflation council tax rises after the government forced town halls to fill the gap left by Tory cuts.

The average Band D home in England saw a total council tax rise of £78 in April this year. Today's announcement could push that average even higher in April 2020.

The main "precept" rose by up to 6% for two years in some parts of the country - followed by a further 5% for some residents in 2019/20.

£100m to increase security in prisons with more airport-style scanners after a spate of attacks on staff.

Buses

£200m of extra funds to "transform" bus services with vague promises on "making best use of technology" and "promoting decarbonisation". Further details will only be announced in due course.

Towns

£241m 'from the Towns Fund' in 2020-21 'to support the regeneration of high streets, town centres and local economies'.

Further education

"Further education transformed my life and today we start transforming further education with a £400 million increase in 16-19 education funding next year," the Chancellor said.

"The base rate will increase to £4,188 - a faster rate of growth than in core school funding."

Defence

Mr Javid said the Government would provide £2.2 billion of funding for the Ministry of Defence next year - which he said represented a real terms increase of 2.6%.

He also announced £7 million to the Normandy Memorial Trust to allow the group to complete their memorial overlooking beaches where the "sacrifice of the extraordinary generation of soldiers who fought and died" was made.

Foreign aid

Environment

He committed £422 million to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to push ahead with creating "world leading environmental standards" once Britain has left the European Union.

Another £30 million of "new money" was set aside for tackling "the crisis in our air quality" and £30 million for biodiversity, including widening the Blue Belt Programme. The scheme currently protects marine creatures such as turtles, whales and seabirds.

He also confirmed new funding to help the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to meet the Government's commitment to a net-zero carbon economy by 2050 but did not announce the exact amount involved.

Farming

Mr Javid said Scottish farmers lost out in 2013 when the UK Government allocated the Common Agricultural Policy funding within the UK, adding: "Today we correct that decision - making available an extra £160 million for Scottish farmers."

On Wales, the Chancellor said: "Today's spending round means an extra £600 million of funding for the Welsh Government.

"And in Northern Ireland we're providing an extra £400 million from today's announcements."

Mr Javid went on: "Taken together, today's announcements will give the devolved administrations the biggest spending settlement for a decade."

Tearing up Tory rules?

The Chancellor said he will review the fiscal framework ahead of the next Budget. While this sounds very dry it could mean tearing up years of Tory rules that ensure the nation balances its books. MPs raised concerns.

Mr Javid said: "We won't be able to afford everything and we'll need to prioritise investment in policies that deliver real productivity gains and boost economic growth in the long-term.

"We'll still need to make difficult choices about our national priorities within a clear set of rules to anchor our fiscal policy and keep control of our national debt.

"Today I can announce ahead of the Budget later this year I will review our fiscal framework to ensure it meets the economic priorities of today, not of a decade ago.

"The first priority of our economic plan will be to rebuild our national infrastructure - high quality and reliable infrastructure is essential to how we live, work and travel."
